GoKoan is a Spanish educational software company offering a digital platform engineered to optimize the study process for students preparing for public service entrance exams, known as 'oposiciones'. Founded in Valencia, Spain, in November 2017 by a multidisciplinary team including Clara Torrijos Martinez (CEO), Carles Pons, Elena Cebadera (CPO), and Miguel Angel Ballesteros Velasco (CTO), the company leverages a blend of expertise in psychology, computer engineering, and pedagogy. CEO Clara Torrijos is a specialist in psychology, which is a foundational element of the company's product.
The core of GoKoan's offering is its proprietary "Koan Method," which integrates principles of memory psychology with artificial intelligence. This technology creates a highly personalized and adaptive study plan for each user. The platform's algorithm considers the student's available study time and dynamically adjusts the curriculum based on their real-time progress, ensuring a focus on areas needing improvement. The business operates in the EdTech market, specifically serving individuals in Spain aspiring to secure government positions. GoKoan's revenue model is based on selling access to its online courses, which cover various exams such as those for finance agents, penitentiary assistants, and administrative roles. The learning experience is designed to be engaging, incorporating activities and gamification to enhance retention and motivation.
The company has progressed through several stages of growth, securing multiple rounds of funding. A notable seed round on September 6, 2021, raised $1.43 million, led by Sabadell Venture Capital and supported by other investors including Athos Capital, Lanzadera, and Draper B1. This followed an earlier investment of €128,000 in 2019. GoKoan has also participated in accelerator programs, including SEK Lab, where it was named the best startup of its cohort.
